Psalm 31:6
Into your hands I commend my spirit; you will redeem me, Lord, faithful God.

It seems that only when we experience the unmerited, unearned redemption of God that we are able to extend that same redemption to others through our words and actions. Allow yourself to contemplate the unconditional love demonstrated to us by Jesus when he responded with compassion when He was brutally persecuted…and when He forgave his persecutors from the cross…even when they had not asked for forgiveness! Allow that amazing truth to sink into your soul. How can you do anything else…but to fall into the loving embrace of such a God? It is not by our strength or doing anything that we are redeemed…but only through the Grace of God. For in my very weakness…I am strong in Christ! (“For when I am weak, then I am strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:10)
